Philadelphia's big three of Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey and Paul George struggled once again, and none eclipsed 20 points. Embiid in particular struggled, scoring 15 points and grabbing three rebounds in 27 minutes of action. He went just 3-for-9 from the field and scored nine of his 15 points at the free-throw line.

The 76ers have now lost 6 games in a row. When do they consider shutting down Joel Embiid for the rest of the season?

Since his return from a 15-game absence due to this knee issue, Embiid's contributions on the court have been notable but not up to his usual standards. Over the past 18 games, he has averaged 24.3 points, 8.2 rebounds, and 4.4 assists per game.
